This update introduces key enhancements to the approval process for Defect and NC items in the Submitted status.

Key Features:

• Notification System: When an approver is reassigned, both the new and previous approvers receive notification emails, ensuring smooth transitions.
• Mandatory Approver Alert: If an attempt is made to save a Defect or NC item in the Submitted status without an assigned approver, an alert prompts the user to assign one.
• Admin Authority: Admin users can edit Defect and NC items in the Submitted status if the designated approver is unavailable.
• Approval Confirmation: Upon approval, an “Approved successfully” toast message confirms the action.

Benefits:

• Enhanced Communication: Automated notifications keep all parties informed during the approval process.
• Improved Process Integrity: Alerts ensure that every Defect and NC item has an assigned approver before submission.
• Administrative Flexibility: Admins have the ability to manage approvals effectively, even in the absence of the primary approver.
• User-Friendly Interface: The addition of a “Submitted” status option streamlines status updates.
